Bio

Scott Pellegrom
Welcome to the next generation of drumming—new tones, new swells, new punches, new grooves. People have been buzzing for years about Scott Pellegrom but he really hit the news when he placed in the finals of the 2006 Guitar Center Drum Off. That led to coveted spots at NAMM, Musikmesse, PASIC, and in major drum magazines.

Drummers both appreciate and marvel at the way Scott's cool grooves make use of sounds, airy and earthy, that others haven't explored. Part of the fascination is his playful use of cymbals, wherein he causes them to wash and exclaim as part of the musical flow, which he punctuates with bold, penetrating drum tones. For Scott, the entire drum kit, not just the heads, is fair game to strike, coaxing sounds out of every inch of the kit. He massages the kit, making everyone in the audience want more. Beyond the kit, Scott is a body drummer, using his cheeks and chest, and does a ridiculously fast hand clap that only he can make look cool. Rhythm is everywhere and Scott will find it, master it, and share it for your aural pleasure.

Scott has absorbed decades-old drum traditions: he plays with bare hands, sticks, and various striking implements and traverses the entire drum head for sweet spots, sometimes depressing his elbows against batters to get notes just right. And he adds a weight to his groove when he plays unison snare and bass drum figures. Often he's not so much in sync: he's fluttering across the surfaces of drums and cymbals as if fleeing from his backbeat. He’s all surprises.
About Scott Pellegrom
Endearingly called “Scotty P” by his fans, Scott does more than traverse the drum kit. An avid outdoorsman, Scott can be found on a riverbank fishing or in the woods searching for morel mushroom hotspots. Outdoors gives Scott another type of drum kit to explore rhythms. Scott is a rhythmist- always finding natural rhythms in the world around him, tuning in to the earth and his surroundings. Releasing the inner chatter that can rattle in one’s head allows Scott to hone in on the gentle sway of the branches, the leaves playfully tapping each other, the water gliding over the smooth river stones. Scott absorbs the natural rhythms from his surroundings into his soul, and beams it into his playing with every beat. International travel is always tugging at Scott’s heart, and has had many glimpses of the wide world of drumming. He plans to continue exploring rhythm in every corner of the world.
